  || || ==== DESDEMONA, OTHELLO, IAGO, CASSIO, RODERIGO, EMILIA, &C. //**Othello.**// MY fair warrior ! //**Des.**// My dear Othello! //**Oth.**// It gives me wonder great as my content, To see you here before me. O my soul's joy! If after every tempest come such calms, May the winds blow till they have waken'd death! And let the labouring bark climb hills of seas, Olympus-high; and duck again as low As hell's from heaven! If it were now to die, 'T were now to be most happy; for, I fear My soul hath her content so absolute, That not another comfort like to this Succeeds in unknown fate. //Painted by Thomas Stothard, R.A. Engraved by Thomas Ryder. []// ||
